A growing, but established community near downtown Roseburg

West Harvard is a suburban neighborhood 2 miles from downtown Roseburg that offers people an established community with historic homes, well-regarded institutions and walkable streets. “It’s a sought-after area that has great schools and churches,” says David Jaques, Broker/Owner of Al Pine Real Estate 1, who has lived in the area for nearly four decades. ”The neighborhood has an older feel compared to others that are closer to downtown Roseburg. There’s 1950s and 60s homes, wide sidewalks and bike paths on the main roads.” West Harvard has a large veteran population and is part of Douglas County, which has the highest veteran population in Oregon. It’s more traditional compared to other neighborhoods, but is inevitably growing with the times. “New businesses are breathing life back into the neighborhood,” says Jill DeLoach, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Southern Oregon, who has two decades of experience in the area. These include McClendon's Old Fashioned Meats and Smokehouse and Muchas Gracias, a Mexican restaurant. Both restaurants opened in 2024 on West Harvard Avenue.
